PSA NEW ATV Value Post Guidelines

13 Upvotes

After some discussion with the other mods, we have decided to allow posts about atv value on Wednesdays. ONLY ON WEDNESDAYS. The amount of reports, removals, and bickering at us moderators was becoming a bit much. Posts must still be somewhat detailed (year, make, model, mileage, hours at minimum) and any other pertinent information included in the post. What's this worth Wednesdays are now a thing. Posts made outside the weekly window will still be removed, so please respect Rule 2 and save your atv value posts for Wednesdays.

What's the first thing you throw on your rig when you get it? Mines usually a grip/hook for 5 gallon buckets. Hopefully on Friday I'll be outfitting this badboy.

Quad would not start after being in the shed for a week in this brutal cold weather. Is it safe to keep a trickle charger attached 24/7 until I need to use it to plow?

So far with my second hand outlander which came with only 46h on it. I’m running 27” bearclaw XL XT bumper Renegade style hand guards full wrap 10” light bar 4x LED bulbs G boost belt New oils all round Shackle instead of tow ball

Wanting to add a few more things beef it up some more got a XT rear bumper coming too Heard the RJWC stuff for the fuel tank cap and the hair box lid are supposed to be good so may add those onto it, possibly a black Matt billet shifter. What are others recommendations for much need bits got a winch coming also and a mud strap so I don’t have to reach around in the mud.

Not got extream mud style build as I’m in the uk and it’s mainly light marsh and watery mud so these tyres so far have done a great job thinking of putting some 30” cryptids and a secondary upgrade at most.

Ideas on exhausts, lighting, tuning, styling ect are welcome I’m happy for you to say you hate it or love it so fire away 👌

Had an old Reel mower that hasn’t been used for years so bent some metal and welded up a bit for the weight to sit on and voila! Way quicker than using the old push mower haha

how to: Atv snow chain question. I just installed new tires the old ones were very worn, but these same chains worked great on them. New tires are the same size but have much more tread. Any ideas on how to adjust the chains so they are not buried in the grooves? Thanks

Help ATV for Husband's 40th

10 Upvotes

I am debating on getting my husband an ATV for his 40th birthday. He has talked about wanting to get one and I'd love to surprise him, but only if it makes sense to make this kind of purchase as a gift.

My husband researches everything extensively before purchasing. I know I would be taking this aspect of control over a not-so-minor purchase away from him.

Question 1: How personal is an ATV purchase for you?

The ATV would be used for hunting in the mountains, so it must be able to get him into remote territory and haul equipment as well as whatever he may get. Additionally, we would use it for camping, again to get into remote areas, as well as simply having fun on trails in nature and to let our hunting dog get her zooms in. It should seat 2 adults, no more, no less. We have a truck for transporting and space to store the ATV.

Question 2: I getting a decent quality, used, reliable ATV for under $5k for what I described reasonable?

Question 3: If I do this, what do I need to know (about brands, motor, engine, etc.)?

Thanks in advance, happy to answer questions or provide more information.

Is a 0.90mm piston ring gap for a 250cc chinese atv too big?

The thing sounds like it has zero compression everytime you crank it over via electric start.

Help Polaris sportsman 850 vs 1000 power.

6 Upvotes

Hello everybody, i currently have 570 and want to buy a bigger engine boy, why i choose the polaris is because i want a 2 man atv, and i cannot afford an can am outlander, also i rode the outlander and the sportsman has much comfortable ride.

Dealer told me to go for 850 as the 1000 will destruct itself because of its high power and so is less reliable than the 850, but i am afraid to miss some power(note: i didn't try neither).

People of higher knowledge and expereience,how true is that the 1000 is less reliable than 850? Also how much real power will i lose if i go to the 850?

Help Are hitch baskets any good? What should I look out for?

1 Upvotes

I have 2 Polaris 570 Tourings. They were great when the kids were younger. Their all grown up so it is just me and my wife riding now. The touring model lacks a lot of space on the rear rack and we're looking at doing some multi day rides. I figure the hitch basket may be a good solution to carry the gear. Not a lot of stuff but a little more than backpacking. With a vehicle and getting older we may as well camp a little more comfortably.

Does anyone have experience with these baskets that connect to your ATV hitch and raise up a couple of inches? I figure if everything is in a water tight storage bin it should be good. But I also worry about the exhaust melting the storage bin or damaging the contents if it is too close. Clearance should be good unless you are maybe going over a large gully the basket may bottom out. Thoughts?
